This catch n cook starts off with looking for bait. We don't find any along the mangroves, I need to figure out some better spots to get bait at. The Tavernier marina also had no live bait, except for shrimp, for sale.

We run offshore out of Tavernier creek and start running slightly south east to the islamorada humps. It's time to start offshore fishing! We drop our deep drop rig down on some bottom where I marked some fish. We are using cut blue runners for bait and quickly hook up. It's a red snapper! Dang season just ended for these! Or so I thought, it actually turns out that it's a yellow eye snapper. I could have kept it!

We keep on fishing and send down another deep drop rig. And almost just as fast catch a second yellow eye snapper. Since I thought they are not in season I didn't want to keep catching these fish so I ran a little north off the humps and started looking for action.

30 minutes of searching for fish go by until I marked some small spots on the sonar. We start vertical jigging and hook up. I catch a black fin tuna. Beata also catches a shark, that shark must have been hungry to go after a vertical jig!

We saw some dolphin and started chasing them instead of fishing. The girls love the dolphins. The flipper kind, not mahi mahi. It's now sunset time and we run home to make some awesome tuna fish tacos. We also eat lots of tuna raw dipped in soy sauce. You can't beat fresh fish the same day as your offshore fishing trip off key largo and islamorada. The Islamorada Humps
